The successful writer Paul and the sought-after voice actress Emilia were always considered to be the absolute dream couple by friends: Harmonious, happy, successful, with three charming children named Bo, Marie and Fe. But now, in their late 40s, their relationship is threatened by a crisis.

Georg "Schorsch" Kempter is a gardener in a small Bavarian town, working day-in, day-out in his nursery, which is facing bankruptcy. He doesn't like to talk much. He never has. His marriage has long lost all its magic and on top of that, he has trouble to connect with his daughter. Only when he is flying in his own rickety biplane, Schorsch feels truly free. When the owner of the local golf course tries to cheat Schorsch for his money, claiming the shade of green of the grass Schorsch has planted on the golf course is not right, insolvency seems unavoidable. So just when his airplane is about to be impounded, Schorsch grabs the control stick and flies away in an attempt to save his plane and himself. He embarks onto a journey into the unknown, to places he has never seen before, full of odd and special encounters - and with every take-off and every landing, this tough man's heart slowly warms up to what you might call an idea of happiness.

This film is a series of seven funny and moving vignettes, from seven different directors, all linked by one bus journey. Pattex and Horst are waiting forever for a bus after a long night at a rock concert and their stories link the other vignettes together. Rita dreams of weddings and a honeymoon in Verona, Italy. On her way to marry a man she met through a dating agency, she meets Ewald. There's also Franziska, who is picked up bus driver Charlie, and eventually comes to remember that she just crashed her boyfriend's car, with him in it. Seven German directors, including Uschi Ferstl, Academy Award winner Florian Gallenberger and Vanessa Jopp, present a collection of stories that move fluidly between youthful angst and comedy.Honolulu
